The Angelo Azzurro is an Italian cocktail that gained popularity in the late twentieth century, particularly for its vivid blue colour. It belongs to a category of drinks where appearance plays a central role.
Made with gin, triple sec, and blue curaçao, it delivers a straightforward citrus profile with a slightly sweet edge. It is clean and easy to understand, even if it is not especially complex. It is a drink that was built to stand out across a bar.

I think of this as a reminder that not every drink needs to be serious. Sometimes a strong visual and a simple structure are enough.
